THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


The proposed amendment to the con-
stitution changing the judiciary system
of the state should be read carefully and
considered calmly by the voters of Texas.
1t proposes to increase the number Of
Supreme court judges from three to five
or seven, as the Legislature may select,
and defines the powers and duties of that
body. 1t fixes the number of Appellate
Judges, their salary, term of office and
other matters necessary; it prescribes
the duties and provides for the election
of district judges, sheri1s, county and
district clerks, and systematizes the en-
tire judicial proceedings of the state.
1t is the work of some of the ablest law
yers in Texas, and has received the
almost unanimous Endorsement of the
legal fraternity as being the best
method of meeting present and
future eXigencies. Under the pres
ent law our courts are overcrowded
with business, which should be disposed
Of in justice to litigants, but which it is
physically impossible to reach. The
Supreme court, which should be ready to
decide important cases st once, has a
docket over which it looks despairingly,
and without hope of even being able to
reach or even approach the end. Cues
tons involving vast sums of money and
often the life and liberty of the citizen
are forced to lie over from month to
month because of the inability of the
courts to reach them. II the number of
judges were increased, these cases could
be classified and dispoa ed of by portion
Of that body attending to separate
divisions of business, snd thus the dockets

As A WOOL MARKET.

Bradstreet's says IN its issue of the
18th inst. that "the project to make Fort
Worth wool center is attracting atten-
ton" And if Fort Worth will take
prompt action in this matter, much more
attention will be paid to this city by men
who are seeking investments and loca-
tions. Fort Worth has now ten outlets
by rail, and will have the eleventh by the
lst day of November; of these rail-
roads there are three great trunk
lines and by November Fort Worth will
have four great trunk lines to the north
ward. This is an incalculAble advant-
tsge. And THE GAZETTE ventures to say
that if Fort Worth could announce to the
world to-day that work was progressing
on big live stock yards, on wool
securing works and on the Fort Worth
Western Railroad, this city would receive
an impetus that would carry it beyond
all chance of rivalry. There come tides
in the affairs of towns as in the affairs of
men which, taken at the food, lead on to
fortune. A supreme effort now will save
many days work in the future.

HOW IT LOOKED TO 4 KANSAS
MAN

DR.. G. W. Sutton is GG eX-state repre-
sentative of Kansas. That DR.. Sutton
was not returned to legislate for the peo-
pie of Lyon county, Kan, is q testimo-
NAL to the appreciation of the good doc
tors lack Of observation. THE GAZETTE
cannot find fault with the judgment of
DR.. Sutton's own people. During the
month Of May, or, to be more specific,
DR.. Sutton "on May IS boarded
train at Kansas City and was as
signed g berth in g sleeper at
q time Of day which prevent
ed him from knowing any
thing of the country he passed through"
Writing back to his local paper, the Hart
ford (Lyon county, Kansas,) Call, DR..
Sutton says among a batch of other
driveling paragraphs:
1--WE reached Fort Worth at night, a dead
town of 900 inhabitants. Our car was side
tracked, and we remained over night, and were
here until 10 O'Clock a. m. he reason for the
dead condition of Fort Worth is because of a
drouth which hiss been holding carnival for
eighteen months. Quite number of her best
citizens have closed up business and left
They were recently blessed, however, with a
glorious rain.
With this issue of THE GAZETTE copy
of the special edition of this paper is
sent, each, to DR.. Sutton and to the Hart
ford Call, that they may see how little the
Doctor saw of what was to be seen. From
this edition DR.. Sutton may see that it
was his lack of observation that defeated
him for reelection to the Kansas Legis-
lature, and what a monumental liar g
man may be, unconsciously.

DR.. Sutton. The good Lord made him So

States court. A case in point has just oc-
Cured at Richmond. Virginia, where Judge
Bond, of the United States Circuit Court, has
fined the Attorney general of the State $500
for bringing suits under the law known as the
Coupon Crusher," in disobedience of the
courts injunction, and committed him to tho
custody of the marshal until the fine is paid.
He also fined the Commemorative attorneys
of Fauquier and London counties for dis
obeving the same order and committed
them until the fines are paid and the
suits brought are dismissed. A United
States judge who knows the law and is not
afraid to enforce it is power.

AT the meeting last night Mr.. Steele
Bright, a Democratic attorney, and grand
nephew of Jesse d. Bright, member of that
distinguished Democratic family, made his
appearance the platform, and in a few
well-chosen words, speaking Democrat,
declared that he should to-day vote for Denny
and against a man who is dictated to by the
gang under indictment for election frauds.
Mr.. Bright casts his first vote to-day, and he
sets an example that may well be followed by
any and all others who are in like situation.
He feels the solemnity aid Importance of his
vote, and he does not propose to sully his
manhood by giving in his allegiance to indu-
ences that are debauching and disgracing the
Democratic party. Mr.. Brights honorable
and manly attitude is in striking contrast
with older Democrats who, on Saturday last,
upon the same platform, basely surrendered
themselves to the leadership of Sim Coy.

Preparations for Illegal Voting.

This is the first opportunit the Coy gang has
had to demand the official assistance of the man
whom it cleo ted county clerk. In previous cam
paigns, when Coy could count on the poit-
ical favor of the Supreme Court clerk his natur-
alization mill was in operation in that Office.
County Clerk Sullivan being mis- chief adviser in
managing the mob that swears allegiance to
Coyism. supplies more ready means by which
men of foreign birth can be naturalized in tho
interests of the boss It was not until Tuesday
that Coy sought to take advantage to any ex-
tent of this resource for creating votes, but
that day and yesterday he did not neglect the
opportunity of making citiz ems, whom the ques-
tions were rapid, few and by no means search

many of that number not entitled to vote,
either account of not having been in the
United States the one year, or in the State the
six months required by the State Constitution.
Yesterday this wholesale system Of naturaliza-
ton was for the greater part OF the time under
the immediate direction of Coy himself. The
system used was for the applicant to make oath
that he had been in the United States and State
a certain length of time. and that he had re-
nounced his allegiance to the government under

meager skeleton of important act.
enough is shown that the gang
did not hesitate to openly use this means to
make illegal voters. During the day Coy and
his heelers brought many of those named below
to the clerks Office in groups of threes and tours.
In five minutes they were given papers upon
which an attempt will be made to vote them to-
day where the election board, it is presumed,
will have majority to decide in favor of the
gangs creatures. In reviewing this list of
newly made citizens one will find that the
greater part of the men named are young fell
lows who have no families or responsibilities of
any kind except to hold Coy's favor. He has
put his collar on them, and will not take it off
until each one has answered his purpose. Those
who have thus far secured their papers are the

THE PRUITAGE OF CoYIsM.

The Infamous attack arranged to be made on
Mayor Denny was a natural result of Coyism in
politics The cunning, undetermined mode of
procedure, the attempt to stab in the dark,
and to reach an end regardless of means,
working with tools that could be discarded
and evading criminal responsibility, all are
characteristic of the Coy school of politics.
Gov himself has denied personal responsibility
for the outrage. We give him the benefit of
the denial, though he did the same in the tai
ly-sheet forgeries, for which he was VIGOROUSLY
responsible. The cunning manner in which
the false charge against Mr.. Denny was
brought out and circulated without mourning
personal or criminal responsibility, shows pre-
concerted method. Note the unfolding of the
plot and the careful manner in which it was
developed. Several days ago an affidavit was
prepared charging that Mayor Denny was re-
Gently taken home in a hack, at 3 o'clock in
the morning, from particular saloon, in a
state of intoxication The next thing was to
get somebody to sign it. Last Friday night
three men, working in the interest of Dr.
with hack and induced the colored porter to
90 out drinking with them. When he was
sufficiently intoxicated they, by means of
caiolery and threats, induced him to sign the
affidavit and make oath to it before notary
public who was conveniently at hand This
was after midnight on Friday. On Saturday
night, at the Tomlinson Hall meeting, DR..
Edenharter referred by cowardly innuendo to
abe subiect-matt Of the affidavit in his
speech, showing that he was in the secret.
Does anybody doubt that Sim Coy was alsoa
Saturday night and Sunday it was openly
| talked on the streets that such an affidavit
had been made and would be printed on Mon

this street talk gave publicity to the matter.
| Sunday night the person who signed the
| affidavit having become sober, went to Mr.
Denny and voluntarily retracted every state
ment OF the affidavit, signing and making
oath to his retraction, and the hackman who
was said to have hauled the Mayor home also
made statement declaring the charge an alb
| solute lie These retractions killed the lie
before it was fairly born, and the publication
| which had been decided on was countermand-
ed. All this is characteristic of the Coy
school of politicians who hold that every thing
is fair in politics. This dirty piece of work
was done by persons who are co-workers with
Coy and for Coy's candidate, and the latters

which is known only to a few. He made a
gallant, accomplishing fight; his spirit was

FRIENDS of Mr. Shields, late city clerk,
tinue to talk about the circumstances un-
der which the vacancy caused by his death
was filled, and not few of them will vote
their feelings to-day. 1t was not alone the
indecent haste with which the vacancy was
filled-Coy actually going from Mr.. Shields's
death-bed to the committee-room to name his
successor-but it was the person nominated.
Coy and Sullivan used the dead mans shoes
to pay personal debt. There is no reason
to believe that Mr.. O'Donnell would have
been chosen by a convention to succeed Mr..
Shields on the ticket; but the bosses put him
there to suit themselves and in order to
forestall opposition they acted almost before
the breath was out of the dead mans body.
Their indecent haste was suggestive of a
brutality in politics that is characteristic of
the gang.
